Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang
Chapter 598: A Huge Bargain
Du Bowen shook his head helplessly, turned and walked off the field, intending to ask Xiao Zhou for clarification and see if he could mediate the situation.
After Du Bowen left, Shang Zizhe said bluntly: "Dad, this is a big deal for the entire store. We can't let Xiao Zhou mess it up."
"You may have been a little impulsive in this matter."
"We approached him for endorsement, but compared to the future of the store, this little thing is nothing. At worst, we can just stop associating with him. A guy like him who thinks highly of himself is not worth our close friendship."
Shang Baochang looked at his son. Now that there were no outsiders present, he didn't have to worry about anything. He also felt that his son's words made sense.
He nodded in agreement: "You are right, he did it and he was also wrong. We have no reason to take the blame for him."
Hearing his father's words, Shang Zizhe smiled.
"Dad, you're right to think so."
Shang Zizhe was secretly happy, knowing that Xiao Zhou was going to suffer a great loss this time. More importantly, Xiao Zhou lost face in front of Du Qianqian.
Now, he can mock her in front of Du Qianqian.
Not long after, Zhou Qi got the copper brick he had bid for and the small white bowl that was despised by the Shang father and son.
Both items were carefully placed in the box. After confirming that they were correct, Zhou Qi put them away and did not show them to others.
He paid for both items using his bank card.
Shang Baochang had previously said that he would give him the copper brick that he had bought for 80,000 yuan, but he did not mention a word about it when it came to payment.
Shang Baochang also got the snuff bottle, porcelain bottle and bronze incense burner that he had bought.
Normally, he would immediately examine these new treasures carefully, but this time, his mood was obviously different from before.
Liu Zhaoqing lost interest in playing, but he still walked up to the group of people with the things he had just bought, with a playful look on his face:
"Come, let me show you what I bought, and let you admit defeat with all your heart."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of many people around. Everyone knew that the two groups of people at the auction were arguing fiercely because they were angry.
Now that they have the chance to watch the fun, they naturally don’t want to miss it. They all want to see what treasures Liu Zhaoqing bought.
Not far away is the authoritative appraisal center, which can provide the most professional appraisal services for the collections and give the most accurate value assessment.
Today, six experts were ready, but they were still a little unprepared for the sudden influx of so many people. Normally, after the auction, there would be a few buyers who would bring items here for appraisal, but the number was small.
After all, most of the items that can be put on the auction stage have been preliminarily appraised, and if private collectors want to participate in the auction, they also need to be appraised by the auction's experts.
However, there is still a big gap compared with the appraisal of authoritative organizations.
Sometimes, in order to avoid the risk of possible depreciation after authoritative appraisal, people choose to send items that have passed preliminary appraisal directly to the auction house, which increases the uncertainty in the transaction.
Therefore, such collections often have a certain gambling nature. Sometimes you can bid for something worthless, and sometimes you can get a huge bargain.
Liu Zhaoqing walked up to the six experts, gently placed the three boxes in his hands on the table, and said to Shang Baochang with a proud look:
"Although the result is obvious, I am still willing to pay the appraisal fee. Remember, don't let this price make your jaw drop."
He pushed open the first box, and inside was the porcelain cup he had bought. After careful inspection, the experts told a series of historical stories, and finally gave a surprising price - two hundred thousand higher than the original price!
Shang Baochang's face turned gloomy. He had tried to raise the prices of the three items Liu Zhaoqing had bought until he thought they were beyond their actual value.
Unexpectedly, these items can be priced at a premium.
"What do you think, Mr. Shang? You call yourself an expert, but your vision is really..." Liu Zhaoqing sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.
Shang Baochang's face turned pale and he tightly closed his lips. He understood that Liu Zhaoqing was deliberately humiliating him.
If you want to fight back against him with antiques, the higher the price, the more powerful the fight will be.
But he was speechless because these prices were set by authoritative experts and he could not question them.
Seeing Shang Baochang's embarrassment, Liu Zhaoqing smiled even brighter and said, "This is just an appetizer, don't be impatient."
Then he showed the second item - a bronze token.
Several experts agreed that this was an ancient military talisman. This time the premium reached 800,000!
Both items exceeded expectations, with the combined premium exceeding one million.
People around were amazed and congratulated Liu Zhaoqing.
Liu Zhaoqing responded gratefully on the surface, but he was calm inside because he had already learned all this from Master Wu.
Otherwise, why would he be willing to pay a high price?
"Thank you very much, everyone. The first two items are just small things. The real treasures are still to come."
Liu Zhaoqing slowly pushed out the third box.
After a careful inspection, the six appraisers nodded repeatedly.
"Ancient scholars liked to use bamboo pen holders. The late Ming Dynasty writer Tu Long was particularly fond of bamboo pen holders and mentioned in his works:
It is most elegant when made of Xiang bamboo and decorated with rosewood or ebony.
Pan Xifeng, a master of bamboo carving in the Qing Dynasty, also wrote on the pen holder: "The heart is empty, the character is strong, it accompanies me in my study, day and night."
After some introduction, the experts determined that this was a treasure from the Yuan Dynasty. Its estimated value was 8.5 million, but Liu Zhaoqing only spent 5 million to buy it.
A premium of 3.5 million! Upon hearing this, some onlookers couldn't help but exclaim. This is really a treasure!
The original owner suffered a huge loss this time. Liu Zhaoqing bought the item at a low price, and its value doubled before it left the market. If he could find a suitable buyer, it would not be a problem to sell it for more than 9 million.
Make a fortune! Definitely make a fortune!
"Hahaha……"
Liu Zhaoqing smiled and looked at Shang Baochang, saying, "How about it, Mr. Shang, do you understand what I mean now? Three treasures, a total premium of 4.5 million. Just for this bamboo pen holder, I beat you. Are you convinced now?"
Shang Baochang's face turned very ugly. The number of 8.5 million hit his heart like a hammer, making him feel unprecedentedly frustrated.
Shang Zizhe was speechless. He didn't understand why there was such a high premium.
To him, this was simply incredible.
"Young man, now it's time for you to admit your mistake," said Master Wu.
"It's just a ghost's fault!" Shang Zize retorted.
"Our treasure hasn't been identified yet, so it's still unclear who will win or lose, so don't get too carried away."
"You really don't want to give up?"
Liu Zhaoqing smiled contemptuously: "Well, since you insist so much, then I will be generous for once and pay for the appraisal fee. Just think of it as buying something for fun."
"Do I need you?" Shang Zizhe angrily put the long box in his hand on the table. It was a blue and white porcelain vase he won at the auction.
Shang Baochang did not stop him, as he still had some confidence in this porcelain vase.
